Some politicians are focused on awards.
Ukraine is focused on stopping missiles, bringing prisoners home and winning the war.
That difference in priorities tells its own story.

Maybe getting older isn’t about becoming old.
Maybe it’s about finally understanding that a blooming magnolia, a quiet morning, and the people you love are the things that actually matter.
Everything else is noise.
Got this to read with Lexie this summer.
When I was a kid, I loved Pippi Longstocking. She was funny, fearless and always did things her own way.
Now I get to share that story with my daughter and see if she loves it as much as I did.
What was your favorite childhood book?
russia launched 27 missiles at Kyiv in just one hour.
That’s terror.
The goal is to kill, intimidate and terrorize civilians.
One thing I’ll never understand is why so many countries feel entitled to dictate another nation’s historical memory.
Ukraine is free to honor, rebury, commemorate or debate figures from its own history. It’s not Poland’s history. It’s not Israel’s history. It’s Ukraine’s.
Marta and Maja against 2 russians.
Hoping for a 🇺🇦🇵🇱 final.
russian athletes should never have been allowed to compete while their country wages an imperial war, kidnaps Ukrainian children, and terrorizes civilians.
Let’s go, Marta and Maja. 🎾🇺🇦🇵🇱
Nobody is asking outsiders to like those people or agree with those decisions.
And expecting Ukrainians to outsource decisions about their national identity to foreign governments is absurd.
And doing this while Ukraine is literally fighting a war is even more absurd.
A Ukrainian child disappears from occupied Mariupol.
Years later, he appears on russian TV in a naval cadet uniform.
It is forced russification.
And it is one of russia’s war crimes.
For years, anyone warning about russian influence operations was mocked, ignored, or accused of fearmongering.
Now that those operations are reaching their own audience, the conversation has changed very quickly.
I watched russians reacting to fuel shortages.
Almost nobody was asking why their country is bombing Ukrainian cities, killing civilians, and spending billions on a war of aggression.
For many, none of it matters until the consequences land in their own backyard.
